Impulse Instruction Under Impulse Immunisation.
The following Information is supplied by Medicare for Planned Catch Up Immunisation.
Planned Catch Up Immunisation.
The AIR Planned Catch Up Date function is used to notify AIR that an individual under 20 years of age is on a planned catch up for overdue immunisations.
This service should only be used by a vaccination provider in the circumstances that an individual requires their planned catch up to be recorded on the AIR for family assistance payments.
For family assistance payments, if a planned catch up is recorded via the AIR Web Service, the individual’s immunisation status is up-to-date for a period of 6months.
However, the individual’s AIR immunisation status will remain ‘not up to date’ until all scheduled catch up vaccinations are recorded.
Note: only 1 planned catch up for overdue immunisations can ever be recorded for an individual.
If an individual already has a planned catch up recorded, the service will return a message stating it has already been recorded, and also the expiry date for the existing planned catch up will display.
This service is not to be used to simply notify the AIR that an individual of any age is on a vaccination catchup schedule.
Providers Must read and acknowledge the planned catch up text that displays to better understand the difference between a Planned Catch Up Date and an Additional Vaccines Required indicator.
Acknowledge the planned catch up text
Select this if you would like to commence a planned catch up for the individual as you:
- were unable to administer all overdue vaccines today; or
- are waiting on results to support testing of natural immunity; or
- need to order in additional required vaccines.
Please note an individual can only ever have one catch up schedule recorded on the AIR.
You should not select this if:
- you have vaccinated the individual and they are no longer overdue for any vaccines, or
- you feel the parent/guardian does not intend to vaccinate the individual.
If a Planned Catch Up vaccination is being sent, select it in the Vaccine Advice Type Drop Down.
